Springtime always makes you want to refresh everything.

I start noticing little things around the house, a chair that seemed better days, a corner

that needs better lighting, a space that could function just a little bit smarter, and

way fair has been my go to for that reset.

Now my style is kind of cozy, a Nancy Myers energy.

I like warm woods, soft textures, pieces that feel intentional but livable.

I recently upgraded a desk in my office, I added some new shelving, it completely changed

how the room functions, even got this really nice basket too that I could put some of

Lucky's toys in.

It feels more open, more organized, and honestly more inspiring to sit down and work.

Hello everyone and welcome to everything iconic with me, Danny Palagrino, today we're

going to be talking about summer house, and I'm feeling very energized by all the new

people in the guest.

It's out with the old, in with the new.

I'm liking the new people, I'm liking that Ben and Bailey are getting in the mix a little

bit more.

KJ's got really Shabbat Dara's, I guess coming back next week and so the new people are

really bringing it for me and I'm feeling it and I think that's what's going to be the

future of summer house.

Obviously we're going to get rid of some of the OG's, they're going to go to their spin

off.

And then I'd imagine summer house is going to continue on with people like KJ and maybe

Jesse and West, although there's all these rumors, which actually let me back up a minute,

because I want to let everyone know that I'm recording this before I head to New York

to do Watch What Happens Live.

So I'm going to be on Watch What Happens Live, probably it will have already happened

by the time you're listening to this, because I'm going to be on after the summer house

episode with Kyle Cook, Kyle DJ Cook, I'm going to be on there, some very nervous and

excited.

But you guys probably will have already seen that episode or that episode will have been taped

because this podcast will come out right as the episode is airing, does that make sense?

I'm recording it beforehand, I don't know, if you like, I'm trying to explain the plot

of inception at this point, but the truth is, I'm very excited to do Watch What Happens

Live.

I always have a great time there.

And then I'll tell you guys about how it went next week on the podcast when I'm back.

But I want to let everyone know that so this is pre Watch What Happens Live, I'm recording

this pre Watch What Happens Live and I'm so grateful they invited me back and I can't

wait.

But anyway, that's not the point.

As of this recording, there are all these rumors about West and Amanda and perhaps those

two have Italians.

So I'm excited to watch What Happens Live to Get To The Bottom of This, but I don't know

if I believe it or not.

I don't know.

At first I definitely did not believe it.

It's like places like Dumas and some of these like gossipy sites have been reporting

that Amanda and West have been covertly sort of hooking up or dating or something like

that.

And I was like, absolutely not.

So fake.

I don't believe it.

For a second.

Although on the podcast, I think earlier in the season as we've been recapping some

our house, there was a couple of moments where I said, oh, let's keep an eye on those two

remember on the beach when Kyle was yelling at Amanda, West went up to her and was like

comforting her.

And I was like, oh, that's like a duo that maybe we should keep our eyes on.

But I didn't think it was like that romantical.

And so when these rumors came out, I was like, absolutely not.

That's completely false.

It's made up.

I don't buy it.

And then I started to see all these pictures of the two of them together.

And I'm like, am I, am I, am I being bamboozled now?

Like am I being tricked into thinking it's real?

Is it all publicity stunt?

Or is it actual thing that's happening?

I don't know.

But we got to get to the bottom of it.

And maybe by the time this airs, we'll have already been debunked or something.

But what would happen?

What would happen?

Does that mean West would go over to the spin-off show?

How would Kyle react if he found out West was, and then where to see or fall into all

this?

Because here we are watching the show.

I can, oh, West and Sierra might be a thing again.

And then in real time, and find out on social media, maybe it's West and Sierra.

So what's the truth?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Let's talk about this week's episode.

So we open with Jesse in bed with Sierra at 7.15 p.m. July 25th.

And let's see, Sierra, or Jesse says, I guess I'm glad we're having this conversation.

So many jokes I could make right now about our conversation.

But I won't.

I'm just glad we talked.

And then Jesse, because last week on the show, remember, he confesses love to Sierra.

And Sierra is like, what the fuck?

And then after Sierra basically says, I'm not interested.

And stop treating me like a piece of meat.

That's when Jesse opens this episode just saying, like, I'm glad we had this conversation.

And then they fist bump.

They fist bump.

Eventually they hug, but Jesse's first instinct was to fist bump.

And it's like, Jesse, I've had it with, I've had it with that man.

And to me, I just, I don't know how much longer I could watch Jesse.

He's just not for me.

And God bless if he is for anyone.

I don't know who he's for exactly.

You know, like when they, I don't know if there was like a brand summit about Jesse.

I'm not sure who exactly would be there or what they would be talking about, because

I don't understand who the audience is for that man.

I guess he's tall.

It's like that.

What he offers the people is that he's tall.

I don't know.

It's like Jesse, but he fist bumped Sierra after that hole.

How do you confess your love?

And then fist bump.

Eventually, like I mentioned, they do hug.

And they say they love each other and Sierra is like, I love you, Jesse, and it's cute,

I guess.

And then immediately Jesse goes over to West's room.

And he tells West that he feels bad that Sierra is upset.

And he feels like he misread the situation and is disappointing himself.

And he's like, no shit.

And West was being really nice to Jesse, and this is the thing that is kind of a disconnect

for me because I'm like, obviously West still has feelings for Sierra.

And we're seeing that play out on the show.

But then when it comes to Jesse, he's also very upset that Jesse wanted to make out with

Sierra when he was like, do you mind if I make out with Sierra?

And West is like, oh, I don't know, dude, like whatever.

And it's like, I want West to stick up and say, actually, I do mind.

And I'm pissed at you.

Why are you going after?

Then it's just you're supposed to be his best friend.

So like, why are you even entertaining the idea of a romantic dalliance with Sierra when

it's like, your West's friend, it's completely inappropriate to me.

And I want West to stick up for himself.

And he's not doing that.

And I'm like, West, speak up.

You see something, say something.

But anyway, he like sort of consoles Jesse when Jesse walks in the room.

He's like, oh, man, I'm like, come on West, say something.

Meanwhile, there's some chefs prepping a man as birthday dinner and they're all getting

super dressed up.

And I'm being like, oh, they're having like a nice, a nice fancy dinner.

But then ultimately, they just have like chicken fingers and Caesar salad.

And it looked fantastic to me.

And they were eating and sort of like kid plates or something.

I love this.

I'm tired of the theme parties, but I like a theme dinner.

And this was to me like my ideal theme dinner for if I was ever my own birthday dinner.

It's like Caesar salad with some chicken nuggets.

And they had like nice martinis.

They were dressed up.

I think there was mac and cheese on the table.

It was like kid food, finger food.

And that's the kind of food I like.

Like give me a chicken finger, a chicken tender all day long.

And I'm happy as a clam's mac and cheese.

That's all I want.

I'm not interested in all the fancy.

I don't need some like five star thing, although that's great to sometimes.

But for the most part, I feel like those fancy dinners, it's like, I'm not interested

in them.

I just want some chicken tenders.

I just just need some breaded chicken fingers.

And that's all I want.

And as Caesar salad with, I mean, if they had diet coke, that'd be the perfect meal.

Perfect meal.

But they had chefs doing it and I'm thinking like, I don't think you need it.

Just throw some Tyson nugs in the air fryer and you're good to go.

Like I don't know that they need to spend the money.

I guess they have a TV show budget.

So maybe that's why they did it.

But otherwise, I was just thinking like, oh, you throw salad in a bowl, some Caesar dressing

in a crouton.

And then throw some Tyson's in the air fryer.

Or those bear, or those bear naked, those are the nuggets I like, the bear, B-A-R-E,

that's how you, or those that they call.

They taste like Chick-fil-A, but you don't have to feel bad about eating them.

And honestly, I think now they're better than Chick-fil-A.

Last time I had the Chick-fil-A, it wasn't even good.

It's shit now.

Anyway, moving on, the chefs preparing a Bailey's excited that Dara's with KJ now, because

Bailey's got the crush on Ben.

And so she comes in ready to flirt.

And I was hoping, I do think that Bailey, like she's got this crush on Ben, and obviously

blows up in her face.

But early in the episode before it blew up in her face, I was thinking like, girl, you

need to love yourself.

You should go and love yourself, girl.

Because she's just so over the moon, over the top, infatuated with this Ben fella.

And I liked Ben when I first saw him.

And now, as time goes on, I'm like, okay, I've had enough of this man.

But she's like so into him.

And she's like, I'm going to flirt with him now, because she, at first last week thought

that Dara was going to be with Ben, because she thought Dara was flirting with Ben.

But then Dara's with KJ now, which seems great.

I'm into these two.

But Bailey now is like ready to flirt.

She's like, I happen on Ben's, ready to go with him.

And Ben's not even interested.

I haven't seen him interested in that one time, and I feel bad for Bailey, because here

she goes throwing all her eggs in that basket, and he's not even interested.

So then they all go to dinner, everyone's dressed fancy.

Kyle's wearing his wedding outfit change.

And then, even before the dinner starts, Amanda takes like a solo photo with Ben.

And I just want to point this out, because I feel like Bailey, ultimately at the end of

the episode, she has this awkward moment with Ben.

And she's saying, well, like, you and Amanda flirt all the time, like, I was just, whatever.

And I just want to point out that even before the dinner, Amanda, I would see that photo,

doing a solo photo with Ben.

That seems flirty to me, like, why would you, I don't, I don't trust like the, I don't

trust it.

I don't trust it.

I think Bailey was right that Amanda and Ben do flirt more so than Ben flirts with the

other women in the house.

And so I don't think it's like so crazy that Bailey pointed that out at the dinner, but

we'll get there.

Also at the table, there were crayons, which I love.

It was like Caesar salad, chicken fingers, crayons.

She's turning 34, but I love this.

So child plates.

I like it.

You know, my son, we started feeding them salads and real foods and all the baby plates.

I love them because they suctioned the high chair.

Like we all need those guys.

Not only that, but they have like different spots for, they have like different containers

on the baby plates.

You could put like one, like your side dish in one little pocket, you put the main meat

in the other pocket.

It's got like three.

And then they suctioned at the things they can't go anywhere in their silicone.

I like them.

I think we should all start doing that.

But they start talking at dinner about Carl's bar because you remember last week on the

show, Ben went over to Carl's soft bar and Carl's piss the cow didn't invest in the soft

bar.

But Kyle's saying he had to invest 500K to pay the payroll in lover boy.

And I don't quite understand how lover boy is not successful because it's been on this

TV show for a hundred years.

We've had to watch all these people drink it.

Like, and look, I've never had the lover boy.

But it must taste like piss water because how have you had such free advertising and you're

not making it successful?

I would imagine so many bravo people have tried it.

Like we've tried everything.

I had Melissa Gorgel's sprinkle cake.

I've had Ramonos Pino Grigia.

I've had Kathy Wikili's canollis.

Like bravo people will pretty much bite the bullet and order anything that these bravo

celebrities try to sell us.

Right?

Like we've had in the past skinny girl ham at one point.

Now the skinny girl ham didn't last.

The skinny girl deli meat for some reason did not stay on the store shelves for very long.

But the point is we've all tried all these bravo products and lover boy has been consistently

on the show.

It's the only thing they've been drinking when they're having the theme parties.

And it's a young audience of people that watch the show.

So it's like aren't people trying lover boy like how is it not successful and Kyle's

going to put the 500k to cover the payroll?

But then he says you can't pay a car all 15k and it's like this is what you should not

get into business with friends because look at this.

Then it's like a tit for tat thing.

Carl's like oh well I invested 15k and the lover boy piss water.

And now Kyle's like well I don't have the money to invest in Carl's non-alc bar situation

that's got to open up in the Brooklyn area.

I said Brooklyn area.

I don't know.

But so this is where you should get in business with friends.

And so I think it's actually like standard.

I think you should just maybe just not invest in it.

Even if you believe in the business I feel like you should just invest your money.

There's plenty of other things to believe in.

I don't know if it's safe to when your friends first unless you're like sort of a queen

says like I understand that but like when you're close friends this is what happens because

now you're both holding a grudge about how much you're invested in your flat businesses

with your friends.

Anyway they go around the table and they say nice things about Amanda and West now I'm

looking through every interaction between West and Amanda with the fine tooth comb.

I got my monoclon I mean Angela lands very up in their ass and I'm just saying what

did West say about Amanda and he said since I've known you I've seen you accomplish so

many things I just want to watch you do shit and this is interesting to me because Kyle

remember on the show has said like she's unmotivated she's lazy she doesn't do shit.

And now here West comes in like prints on a horse and says I'm so proud of all the things

I've watched you accomplish and Amanda's probably thinking her head like why is this fella

able to say that but my husband's on candid camera saying at the beach and every chance

he gets about how lazy my ass is and how I'm not doing anything I'm smoking weed every

night and so she's probably thinking like how come West can see that I do all this stuff

but my own husband the DJ can't even see it with his eyes.

And so that's interesting to me and then Ben this is when everything kind of blows up

because Ben talks about Amanda's eyes and her smile and Bailey just blurt's hatched.

I knew he was going to talk about how we want to fuck Amanda she says something like that

I want to how she wants to sleep with Amanda which is completely nuts and I loved it and

this is what's going to get Bailey in a season and so I just want to plot her even though

it was unhinged to say that at the table.

A, I think you were right and B, it secured your second season contract and Levy needs

to take notes or Levi, Levi, whatever fuck her name is.

The girl they edited out which by the way I do I'm sure I've said this on the podcast

before.

I think like one of my biggest fears is number one being voted out of a reality competition

series first so that'd be number one biggest fear.

And second would be to film a whole season of a reality TV show and then to get edited

out of it.

And it always happens when the people aren't bringing anything and so what's fascinating

is over on the real house that's Beverly Hills there's a scale I don't even, is there

name Natalie or something.

They have this new woman who's on the cast trip they all went to Italy but those women

hasn't been given a confessional.

She's not saying anything she came in really late in the season I think her name is Natalie.

Yes she's on a cast trip, not given a confessional, barely given any two words to say in the

show and it's like that's such a nightmare and the same thing is sort of happening with

Levi.

And Levi I think is is she getting confessional somewhere else but she's basically being

edited out of the show and I feel bad about that because I'm like thinking oh my God

imagine filming this whole season.

You think you're going to be a main cast member on a TV show and you go tell people your

friends or whatever.

I'm going to be on this show.

The first time I remember it happening was on the real house in New York and there was

a woman who was like a party planner and she was like sort of there but then they didn't

give her a confessional and she was like supposed to be a main cast member and then they just

sort of edit them out and it's just it takes a lot of work to edit out a main cast member

on these shows and yet they do it time and time again and it's like is that happening

with Levi that's why Levi needs to she needs to look alive wake up and do something crazy

like Bailey's doing at the dinner table because just starts to shout out that people want

to sleep with each other at this point because you need to get some camera time Levi you

do but Bailey shouts out yeah Ben wants to fuck Amanda whatever and then Mia was making

me laugh because she's like what the hell like she was I like me I do like me I'm liking

all the new people except for I feel bad for Levi but is very awkward very awkward and

I do side with Bailey on this I think Bailey is right and that Ben and Amanda have been

flirting so then at the dinner table Kyle gives Amanda some Cartier I have a lot to say

about this cardier first of all we love Cartier and well at first I thought oh great he gave

her something but then the card said something to last forever but we have 30 days to swap

it out so that was what the card said and then the editors show us a whole montage of Kyle

being not good at giving gifts and in his confession he's like I really struggled I get

gifts and it's like we'll figure it out and then it's revealed later in the episode that

like Amanda had told Kyle to get the specific watch that she got from Cartier and she's

like I can't believe he like went to the store and got it and it's like oh my god the

bar is so fucking low because not only did he just simply go to the store and get the

thing that Amanda said she probably texted him a screenshot or whatever of like get me

this watch but then he didn't even have like the confidence in his card to say to know

that it was like he just got the exact thing she told him to get and then in the card says

well we can return it after 30 days it's like come on why is the bars so low and not only that

it's like we saw in that montage all the times that Kyle's been bad at giving a gift and it was

like everybody tried to tell him including the editors and production of this show because they're

putting together montage of it they're trying to tell Kyle like hey step your ass up and be

better at giving gifts to your wife and yet all he does is go get the thing that she told him

and it was like not even he couldn't even add anything else to the gift it was like he got the

Cartier watch and granted yes that's an expensive watch it got blessed but there was still zero

thought put behind it and even less thought put behind the card because he said you can return it

in 30 days so he didn't even think to himself like oh I don't have to write that because she told

me to get this exact watch but couldn't even like add it a balloon to the fucking thing or something

or a nice nice something something else that she would like like I just feel like I don't

I don't think it's a good excuse like you can say I'm not great at giving gifts but

for your loved ones you still have to figure it out like you you still have to get them

a gift and I just feel like the bar is so low that it's like for all this time he forgets to get

her gifts and then now he finally like steps up and it's just a gift that she told him to get

I was like come on I was so pissed he just went to the store and Amanda calls the mom and she's

like Kyle did good he got me this thing I told him to get and it's like okay well he's still going

out in DJ and sleeping at college campuses till the wee hours of the morning and you're getting

DMs about him hooking up with other people but God bless that he went to the store and got

you the thing that you said hey go get me this come on I get so mad the bar wise the bar so low

anyway they're broken up now so I guess that's the silver lining let's take a break because guess what

I'm on the brim on the brim and then you take a little breather so let's take a break here

okay so after dinner ben is mad at baili and i'm glad they're both in the mix but baili gets

nervous by ben and uh... she he when he comes in the room he like is ready to confront her

in ben is worried that everyone thinks he's floating with a meanda but he's like no it's a friend's

and it's like well actually we've all watched it and it's not only us that think this is like

obviously producers do too because they were able to put together so many different moments so far

this season a ben flirting with the meanda so it's not like so baili get behind me i need to defend

your ass because i think that it baili was right in that ben and Amanda are flirting with each

other and i don't think it was yeah maybe it was an inappropriate time to say it but honestly like

we're on a tv show and you guys were eating chicken nuggets like i don't think it was should be so

uh... such a special sacred place that they couldn't have baili mentioned it and baili even said

later i forget when she said this but she's like if one of the guys did that at the dinner table

everyone had just laughed it off and baili's absolutely fucking right because if jesse were to say that

like oh a meanda ben just wants to fuck a meanda so that's why you know everybody would be like

all right you gotta done the heather and terry dj pero laugh uh... right in his his your face

and that would have been the end of it but instead they're all crucifying baili for saying something

that all the guys would have been able to get away with and i don't like that and ben's like what's

going and ben walks into the baili's and she's like what's going on and it was funny because baili

She said, you mean in life and then I'm, I love Paley.

She's very awkward, I love her.

But Paley's like, look, you guys talked about skinny dipping on your first date and she's

like, you guys joke about it.

And they even showed a montage of bending the man to flirting.

So the editors think that too.

Then Ben leaves the room and Paley goes in cries in the restroom and I feel bad for Paley.

I feel bad.

Meanwhile, Mia was outside the door, listening and she told everyone and so Mia is a star.

Mia and Sierra, they were talking about Ben's, they just go in in the room and how he's

got anger issues and they were like, sort of turned on by it and I kind of get that.

I love that the cardboard cutouts are everywhere.

I don't know that they're really, it's like a weird sort of wears Waldo to just see like

where's Amanda's, where's her cutout, where's Lindsay's cutout at.

Like sometimes they'll be talking like, how did, how did Carl's cutout get over there?

You know, like behind the, behind the DJ booth, like how's this happening?

They did all have a dance party and I like that.

I want to dance with my baby.

I like when they do the dance party in the DJ room with all the cardboard cutouts and there's

something I find comforting about that.

But let's see, Levi and Bailey say, they did say in the room like, because Levi went

and comforted Bailey and they say if Jesse said the comment, they would have all laughed

and she's right.

And Bailey said she's also triggered because she had the relationship with this guy who

was like an asshole to her and she's like when these men talked to her like that.

And so I'm siding with Bailey.

But then all the women do go into the room and comfort Bailey and though women all go

out for the night, I thought they were all going to stay and I was like, very scared about

it.

I was very scared that all the gals were going to be like, we're not going out.

But luckily they were like, we're leaving you Bailey.

Levi did stay with Bailey and unfortunately, I got to think that was the wrong move.

I think Levi needs to start establishing relationships outside of this now.

You do need to have an ally and you do need to have a strong friendship in the group.

So I think Levi and Bailey have been trying to be that for each other.

But Bailey as at least integrating herself more with the other people, and Levi needs

to do that.

I'm sorry to say, I'm sorry to say she should have left her friend.

I do normally would not say that, but I do.

But they all go out.

There's some cell phone footage of them out at night and then 3 a.m. they come home.

And I don't know how many times I could say, but why are we going to places where they can't

film?

And if they can't film anywhere else, then we need to start sending them to a new somewhere

else.

3 a.m. they come home though Sierra and West are flirting.

Sierra.

This was funny to me.

So West sort of sits on Sierra and Sierra says that that's West tell tale that he's

flirting and it's like that's his that's his tell is like if West sits on you, then

it means that he's flirting with you.

And like what a strange tell because it wasn't like, it didn't seem like a very sexual

way.

It was just like West sort of sitting his big ass and those large thighs and look, would

we all want West to sit on our face, sure.

But I'm kidding, I'm kidding, but like he wasn't even sitting sexually, it was just sort

of like, I don't know, just sort of sit in on her and then Sierra's like, oh, that's

how I know West is flirting.

I was like, West, what is insane thing?

They make Buffalo chicken dip, which who doesn't love a Buffalo chicken dip?

I'm sorry, I fucking love a Buffalo chicken dip.

I do.

I.

My husband makes a good Buffalo chicken dip and he only does it like on, maybe like on

like Super Bowl or something, he'll make it like a special occasion and I'll eat the

shit out of that.

I'm like very Midwest when it comes to like an appetizer like that, like a Buffalo chicken

dip or you know those cocktail meatballs that it's like grape jelly.

Do you guys know what I'm talking about cocktail meatballs?

It's very Midwest thing, but you throw a bunch of meatballs in a crock pot and you put

like grape jelly and chili sauce together and you just let it simmer in there.

Sounds disgusting, but let me tell you something.

I'll eat a whole crock pot full of those cocktail meatballs in one sitting.

I will.

And same with the Buffalo chicken dip, like you put that in front of me and I'm good to

go.

I don't care if there's a game on or not.

I will sit in front of the TV till the day is long eating that Buffalo chicken dip and

happy as a clam.

I like football when it comes to, if that means I'm getting some Buffalo chicken dip and

point me in the direction of the football game because that's all I need in life.

But then meanwhile, Kyle and West, they're drunk and they're talking about how West and

Sierra are flirting.

And this is so many layers because now in real time we're seeing like, well West is maybe

flirting with Amanda who's Kyle's ex-wife like there's, and here we are watching the

TV show and West is talking to Kyle about his question, Sierra, so like what's going on

there's layers here.

But I was also very distracted because Kyle, Kyle you guys, guess what, he had his shoes

on the bed.

I'm sorry, I can't even focus on what they're talking about, West's crush on Sierra, whatever.

Kyle's got the shoes on the bed.

I don't care how drunk you are, I'm seeing too many shoes on the bed, too many dirty hooves

on these beds.

I saw it a couple weeks ago, West or Jesse had the shoes on the bed, his dirty hooves on

the bed.

And they're going out to these clubs and I know they're not in New York City, but you're

still going out and these people are coming from New York, so I know those shoes have been

out in the New York City streets.

And so then you're telling me you're coming to this house and you got the shoes on the

bed.

I couldn't, I wouldn't be able to sleep if I knew that the shoes were on the bed after

going out for the night or wearing them in the city, if I was a man or anyone, and the

girls aren't above it either, because I've seen the gals with their hooves on the bed

with the shoes on.

And I don't think that's appropriate.

And if I was going in one of those beds, I'd say absolutely not, and they all need to

learn.

They need to learn.

Even by the way, I said on Southern Charm, I think it was on Southern Charm.

On one of the episodes, I think in the, I don't know, one of the episodes, I saw one

of the gals was put in a suitcase on the couch to unload it, and I thought, what the fuck

are you doing?

What the fuck are you doing?

The suitcase rolls all through the airport and everything.

You, it cannot just put it up on a couch or a bed or something.

Like you leave it by the door and put a towel down, take all your clothes out of it, and

then you, a 409, that's suitcase sass, and clean it up before you put it away.

Like you don't not put it on a bed or on a, how are these people raised?

Like these things, didn't Phoebe Robinson have a book called, don't go on my bed in your

outside clothes or something like that, she's a fantastic writer, so check it out if you

haven't.

But it was something like that.

I forget the actual name, but she named a book after it, and she was right, and she

should say it, because you shouldn't just be going with your outside clothes on the bed.

And here we are, and shoes on the bed, absolutely not, absolutely not.

Anyway, they talk about West and Sierra flirting, which great.

West says it's like a sunset crush, so it's, it's not like a, a breakfast crush or a afternoon

crush.

It's like a sunset, like they have a crush on each other, like after they're drinking

all night.

Meanwhile, Sierra, you know, Sierra and Amanda, they're genuine friends, and I think more,

I know I just said Levi should have went out with the others and left her friend Bailey

in the house alone, but I do think it's important on reality TV.

Like you do need to have one bestie, and you need to make a genuine, and I'm not just

talking about like a show bestie, it needs, you need to develop a genuine bestie in the,

in the cast so that you have that ally, because it is important for the audience to like the

audience needs to know that these people are actually friends, even though they are just

probably cast on these TV shows together and they, when the shows end, they're not going

to be friends.

But Sierra and Amanda seem like they're genuine friends on and off the show, and I think

that's important.

Meanwhile, Kyle and Amanda, they start, they're in that large closet or bathroom or

never.

Kyle, this is after 3 a.m. Kyle's like, I feel so connected to my wife.

And she's like, thank you for the watch, and he's like, oh, it feels like when we first

met or something.

And he's saying how great their connection is here, and I'm like, yeah, because you're

wasted at 3 a.m.

Like what?

That's not a real fucking connection.

Like when you're drunk at 3 a.m. and you're saying like, this is how it's supposed to

be.

And it's like, you don't even, are you even going to remember what you're saying right

now?

Like that's not the connection that you're supposed to have with your wife, where

you can only connect at 3 a.m. after drinking.

And after you give her an expensive watch, that's nuts.

Meanwhile, Wes and Sierra in the kitchen with that Buffalo chicken dip.

And Wes says, I don't know how to talk to you.

He says something about before and after filming, I don't know how and was talked to you.

And I'm just thinking like, where's the Buffalo chicken dip?

Like I need to see the recipe.

It looked to me like that Buffalo chicken dip was made by those chefs that were there that

made the chicken fingers and the mac and cheese.

And they left it there for like their night time drinking.

And that's nice.

That's nice of those chefs.

You know, my family was here recently.

I think I'm at a told the story on the show, but I want to do something special because

I had a lot of family here.

And so I was like, looking into hiring a chef or whatever.

And then a friend told me to hire the Habachi where they come to your house and they do

the Habachi.

And so I did that.

It was really fun.

But the chef, you know, a personal chef for the night is expensive.

But I always see it on these, on these reality shows and that was in my head, I thought,

like, oh, these reality shows always hire a chef for the night for a fancy dinner.

And I thought that was what I was going to do.

But then ultimately I hired the Habachi.

But I'm curious how much of those, I think they're expensive the chef for the night.

But it's nice that the chefs left the Buffalo chicken dip for them to make.

Anyway, I know that's very, neither here nor there, but Sierra and West, they have a serious

conversation.

And all I was thinking about was the Buffalo chicken dip.

I love them.

New people sometimes listen to the podcast.

And I think they think that I'm going to be giving like opinions on West and Sierra sometimes.

And then I just talk about Buffalo chicken dip for 25 minutes and I mean, and it's so funny

to me because then I'll get messages like, I tried to listen to your show and you just

talked about Buffalo chicken dip for 25 minutes.

Get to the point.

And it's like, well, that's what this show is, you know, like, but it does always make

me laugh because I think they think that I'm going to be, you know, giving like some

hard and fast opinion on things that are happening on the show.

And I'm like, I just want to talk about Buffalo chicken dip.

Like that's what I'm most into.

That's where I'm at my life.

Anyway, welcome to all the new listeners.

I don't know if anyone knew his listing, but welcome.

I love you.

Just buckle up, buttercup.

So next, oh, we cut to Saturday morning.

They're all waking up.

Just wakes up, Jesse with the kiss and he calls him a sweet boy like that, I like that.

Bailey's pissed now though.

She went to bed upset about how Ben talked to her and now she's waking up, Matt is hell.

She's Matt is hell.

And so she's ready to give Ben the business.

She, I don't think she even slept at all that night because I saw a lot of the footage.

She was awake when they all came in at 3 a.m.

A wide awake, like fucking Katy Perry in 2010 or whenever that song came out, she was

why the fuck awake?

And then in the morning time, she also seemed wide awake and it seemed like she was just

in her head stewing all night and we've all been there by the way.

I mean, when you can't sleep and you're just like sitting there and you're just, you're

working yourself up in your head or I'm sure we all do that thing where it's like you

replay conversations that you had and you're like, I should have said this or should have

said that.

I had a meeting recently and I think I had too much diet coke at the meeting, but then

at night time, all I was thinking about was like, oh, I think I sounded crazy at the

meeting.

Like, did I sound crazy and I'm like replaying the conversations in my head that I had

at this meeting.

I was like, wait, did I sound crazy because I had like an extra diet coke on top of like

all the caffeine I had already normally had for that day?

And I was just replaying all the conversations from the lunch in my head and I'm like, did

I sound nuts?

I hope I didn't sound nuts.

And then I was up all night because I was just thinking about the conversation and like

I was doing in my head like, why did I say that?

What did I say that wrong or what?

You know?

And so I think that's what Bailey was doing.

She was just replaying everything in her head and then she was getting worked up and mad

about it.

She's like, I don't want guys.

I'm not dating, speaking to me like that.

And so then what else happened?

Oh, so it's morning time and Jesse goes outside and he notices that they left a bunch of

stake out.

He said, oh, we left the stake out.

That was a mistake.

What a mistake it was to leave the stake out.

At least we got mashed potatoes and Jesse, he was like, thought he was doing like stand-up

comedy at this point when he saw the stake.

The stake is out and that was a mistake.

And I just know.

I know he's going to terrorize us with some song and social media about like, steak being

a mistake or something like that.

Like he was doing the word play and I'm like, Jesse, enough.

Enough is enough.

Enough is enough, Jesse.

I can't handle it.

I'm already on the brim of freaking out.

I can't handle Jesse anymore.

I just can't.

Everything he says and does in the show just pisses me off.

And I don't even know why.

I don't have much of a reason other than just every time he speaks, I think shut the

pick up.

And that's mean.

And maybe that's a, that's a me issue maybe.

I need to get over that.

But every, every single time I see him on camera and he speaks anything or even sometimes

even when he doesn't speak, he's just sort of lurking around there like that, that

butler from the Adams family.

Who is that?

Who am I talking?

Who am I thinking of?

Lurch.

Do you guys know him talking about Lurch and the Adams family?

You know, he just sort of lurks around that castle and then opens the doors and he doesn't

even speak much.

Sometimes it's like, even when Jesse's lurking around that summer house and like just open

in the door for someone or something, I'm like, get the fuck out of here.

I don't know why he's like pissing me off.

That's a me issue.

That's a me issue.

Meanwhile, then they all go to the winery vineyard and Bailey is really awkward.

She like, won't sit near Ben.

They have disposable cameras and like a digital camera, somebody had a digital camera.

Everyone's doing the analog.

Everyone's doing it.

Everyone's going back to basics like Christina Aguilera and her album back to basics.

Like they all want the people are getting the DVDs and the VHSs again.

And I've talked about this on podcasts a long time ago, but the stage show just did

a segment on it.

And I was thinking, guess what?

I've been talking about it on everything I kind of for a while now, but they're all,

everyone's going back because I see it on the TikTok.

People are going back to buying VHS players and buying TVs with the VHS players attached.

And they're just people who want to own the physical media and I get that.

I get that.

I just bought a Gloria Estefan CD.

That's right.

In the year of our Lord 2026, I bought a Gloria Estefan CD from 96 or something.

I don't remember what it was.

The hold me, thrill me, kiss me album.

She didn't want to talk to me.

It was one of my mom's favorite albums.

In the car shoot, my mom loved Gloria Estefan, as did I.

And she always would play this album.

And so I went and bought the CD because my truck still plays CDs.

That's right.

That's right.

I still have a truck from 2005 that plays CDs.

So sometimes I buy the CDs from Amazon and I was like, I need to get that Gloria Estefan.

It's the one with Turn the Beat Around on and the song she just called Everlast enough.

Everlast in love.

Oh, it puts me in such a good mood.

If you haven't listened to Gloria Estefan's everlasting love, it's a cover.

The whole album's like covers, but it is phenomenal.

It's phenomenal.

What was I talking about?

Oh, analog.

So I like buying CDs and I know people buy vinyl's now.

It's like vinyl sales are through the roof.

And now CDs are coming back and the youths look at even on the summer house.

They're wanting disposable cameras.

And I even, for Christmas, I got one of those.

It's called Camp.

It's like a video camera.

It's called Camps, Camp Snap or something like that.

It's a video camera and I love it because I could do videos of my son.

And I feel like it's better because you're not, you don't get lost in your phone.

Like you're just taking the video and then you're either putting it down

or you're continuing to take video.

But then you're not like going to check Instagram or something.

Like you can just take the pictures and then you can look at them later.

It's also more fun because on your phone, I feel like you just go look at stuff

instantly and there was something really fun.

Even with the disposable cameras, I was thinking there was something was so fun

about sending it in and then you get the footage back later.

Like you go and pick up the pictures and it's like, you don't know what,

you don't remember the photos that you took.

That's fun.

Remember doing that back in the day you'd go.

You used to send them off to this place called Giant Eagle.

It was a grocery store, but you could take your photos in there and then you'd go pick them up.

And you're like, oh, I don't fucking remember taking that photo, how fun.

Or that photo didn't turn out or, I loved it, I loved it.

Let's take one more quick break here and then we're going to come back

and we got more to discuss.

We left the stake out.

That was a mistake.

All right, imagine this.

You finally have a rare free day.

You're out, you're relaxed.

You're maybe about to sit down for a nice lunch and then your phone buzzes.

You get an alert that a window's been broken at home.

All right, so the winery they have the disposable cameras and Kyle's taking a picture of Sierra

with a digital camera, which is different, but Kyle says they called them Ansel Adams

in high school and Sierra's like, who's the fuck is that?

You know, and I forgot to, to be honest, I would love to call out Sierra.

I'd be like, how do you not know that is, but I was also like, who the fuck is that?

I was like, did you say Amy Adams?

Because then I can give you a whole thesis on how important she is to the culture.

But I couldn't remember Ansel Adams.

And Kyle says that people I would call them that because you would take good photos or something.

I don't know, but Amy Adams, you guys, her work will live on forever.

And we'll remember her long after Ansel.

Drop dead gourd just come on, Julia and Julia.

I gotta say, Julia and Julia, I love that movie.

This is Merrill Streep and Amy Adams.

Merrill plays Julia Child and then Amy plays the gal who wrote a blog about Julia Child.

And I feel like Amy's storyline in that gets a lot of bad rap.

It was a Nora F. Run film.

We love Nora.

And people don't like the Amy Adams scenes of that movie, but I do.

I do.

And I just want to come out loud and proud and say it.

And it is sort of disgusting to me.

I actually auditioned for that movie where Amy Adams played a woman who turns into a dog.

And did not get the role.

And I don't think a lot of people saw that movie.

And I didn't either, but I do want other people.

I think people did it get good reviews.

I don't know.

I couldn't see it because I was like, oh, I auditioned for it and they didn't give me the role.

And so now I hold the grudge against it.

But she had to like act like a dog in it.

And I just remember thinking like, I don't know.

We need stuff for Amy Adams to do.

We do.

We just do.

We need other things.

Other people liked it, and I think it was a commentary on, I don't know.

So what do I know?

I'm still not going to see it.

Okay.

So then Amanda says, oh, she says to the table.

She says that now she got the watch out of Kyle so she can leave us ass.

It's out with the old in with the new she was right.

She got that watch and I get out of that marriage through the ring, go through the ring at

the pawn shop.

Get your cash and run, baby girl.

Run.

Amanda.

Run.

Get out of there, baby girl.

Go to that pawn.

She need to go right to the pawn shop, pawn that ring.

Would you guys keep, would you give the ring back if you got divorced?

Do people give it back if they get divorced or just if you end the engagement?

I would go right to the pawn shop.

I think if you give me something, then I'm keeping it.

But I wouldn't want to, I wouldn't want to like look at something and always think of

that other person that I got other relationship with.

So I would go right to pawn stars and I'd say how much you give me for this, this thing

for this wedding band and then you take the money and you rent and you invested in something

else.

And then a nice bag or a pair of shoes or something or whatever you like.

I personally would hop on eBay and probably buy some old 90s vintage toys.

I've been really eyeing up, did I tell you it for Christmas, you know, this is, I'm sorry,

if you're a new listener, but I need to discuss this for upwards of 45 minutes.

So for the holiday season, I'm very told you, I want to start doing the, the houses.

Like I want to do the villages, right?

Like I really want to start doing villages, but I know that I'm going to like get too addicted

to doing the villages and I'm going to want to buy too many villages.

So anyway, recently though, I'm like, okay, this year, 2026, this is the year I embraced

the Christmas holiday village.

So I'm going to be doing it this year.

Mark my words.

I'm doing it.

I'm committing to it.

And so I've been on eBay lately at night after the baby goes to bed and I'm like, okay,

how am I going to start my Christmas village collection?

And I decided I really want to do this like 1990s looney tunes.

I saw an eBay.

They have like 1996 or eight or whatever.

They started coming out like these looney tune villages.

And then there's one company that's known for doing the really fancy Christmas villages.

They also do like a special set every year and they have like a Sesame Street one that

they did in the 90s or whatever.

And I'm like, I need to pull the trigger and buy the Sesame Street one first and then

go into the looney tunes and I've got like, it'll be like a whole pop culturey village

of like 90s nostalgia village.

So I thought that's going to be my entry point into Christmas villages.

So I don't want to just start with like present day Christmas villages.

I want to just do all like 90s but like classy 90s like the looney tunes and the Sesame

Street one.

They're like made their classy.

They're they're not like plasticky.

They're like nice Christmas villages, but they're just from the 90s and they're starring

like Sylvester and Tweety.

Do you know what I'm saying?

So I've been on eBay but I've been hesitant to pull the trigger on these because they're

very expensive.

And so every night I go on there and I'm like, oh, should I buy one of them for this year?

And ultimately I haven't yet but I've been eyeing them and I think maybe like come June

mid-year.

I think that's when I'm going to pull the trigger because I figured that's when they'll

be cheapest online.

Anyway, what am I talking about?

I'm sorry to just make you all listen to my journey with Christmas villages.

I know it's March and you guys don't want to hear about my Christmas village journey

but that's where I'm at.

I'm waiting till June.

I'm waiting till June.

What were we even talking about?

How did I get to Christmas villages?

I don't know but I'm buying them.

Oh, because leaving.

Leaving.

So I'd go to the pawn shop, get the money and spend it on my Christmas villages that

I've been eyeing.

And by the way for the Christmas villages, I just want to also point out like I'm not

going to do it.

We have this like one window that's got a ledge and that's where I'm going to put it.

So it's not a whole lot of space because it's not like we have a huge house or anything.

But it's a good enough space that I think it would be just the perfect area to start

my Christmas villages and then my hope and also kind of like my, I think it'll push

me to want to get a bigger home.

Do you know what I'm saying?

Because it's like once I start the Christmas villages, it's eventually I'm going to run

out of room in that small window, window area for the window display.

And so I'm going to need a bigger area to do my Christmas villages.

And so I figure then it that'll be like the push I need to get a bigger home, you know,

the push I need to like make more money and get a bigger house is going to be like my

Christmas village collection because I'm not going to have enough room in the window.

So does that make sense?

So that's going to be the reason that I work extra hard.

So if you see me working hard on a lot of projects coming up, just know that it's like

in an effort to buy a bigger home to get more space for a Christmas village that's filled

with Tasmanian Devil and Bugs Bunny and Bert Nerny in a Christmas village form.

That makes sense.

Okay.

Back to the summer house.

Welcome new listeners to this show, everything I got, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for what I just

put you through.

You can just, if you don't like this podcast, just please turn it off.

Don't send me messages.

Don't send me angry messages about how you're pissed about my Christmas village on a

look.

Moving on.

Sierra and Ben.

Sierra and Ben talk.

Sierra says she likes him as a friend and they're having a cute friendship.

He talks about his ex.

So he said his ex loved him and he froze.

His ex said she loved him and he froze and he fucked it up.

He said it went too fast and then he told her he was going to be doing this show.

He basically said like I'm going to wait for the summer and I don't want to commit

to you.

And she's like well, I'm not going to wait out summer.

And I thought like don't be a dummy Ben like you like this woman, but like you were just

putting her on pause because you were going on summer house and it's like you're giving

up this.

I don't know anything about this woman, but he says he had feelings for her.

And basically what he's telling us is like he told her I'm doing a TV show.

So like fuck off for the summer.

But if you want to wait around for me, that'd be great.

And she said no.

And so I'm proud of her.

She loves herself.

Whoever that this woman is.

She does love herself because she said, well, fuck off.

I'm not waiting around for you all summer.

And I hope she found another man because I don't care if this Ben fell anymore.

And I hope she's watching the summer house and she's thinking, oh, I'm glad I dodged

that bullet when it comes to Ben, do you know what I'm saying?

Sierra does tell him to be honest with her and yeah, I just hope she's moved on.

Then we cut to the house.

They all go back to the home.

They do beer pong.

I love beer pong.

I miss beer pong.

I miss beer pong.

I miss playing beer pong.

And I know I could still do it.

But I don't know if I have it in me to play beer pong anymore.

I think I'd be too worried.

Remember back in college, I'd play beer pong.

And it's like that ping pong ball.

I'm sorry.

It would get so gross.

You'd have hair on it.

It would get fuzz because you're bouncing on table and sometimes that ping pong ball falls

on the floor, falls, goes somewhere else.

And I don't think I could play anymore because I would just be looking at you know when

it lands in the cup, you're supposed to drink the beer.

But because the ping pong ball develops gets fuzz and gets hairs on it and stuff, then

that goes in the cup that you got to drink out of.

And I know that's part of the game, but I just don't know if I'm in the place of my life

where I could do that now, where I could drink the beer that's got the hair and the fuzz

in it and the lint.

Because I remember so many times in college, even at as a 21 year old, I'd be thinking,

oh, what the fuck?

I'm going to drink this beer.

But when you're that age, you don't give a flying fuck.

And now at my current age, I don't think I could do that.

But I want to because I love beer pong.

It's so fun.

Why can't I just...

I don't know.

Seara's...

Oh, we already talked about Seara and Ben talking.

Beer pong.

KJ says, oh, this is interesting.

KJ said he had sex the morning before with Dara.

And he tells everyone on camera, I don't know if I like that about KJ.

I hope...

I'm going to give KJ the benefit of the job because I am loving him so far.

But I hope that he at least ran that by Dara and said, hey, I'm going to talk about it

on camera about how he fucked.

Because otherwise, I don't think it's appropriate to just hop on screen when you're mic'd up and

start telling him...

Because he was like kind of bragging about it.

I did not like that.

He was bragging about it.

He was like, oh, yeah, I don't even know if anyone asked him.

I think he just sort of said, like, yeah, I fucked yesterday morning, something like

it wasn't a nicer way.

And I find him very sweet, invulnerable, and I'm loving KJ so far.

But if we're going to have to see, I'm going to have to see Dara.

Did she approve that?

Did she approve it?

I sort of feel like Dara wasn't supposed to be a cast member and then she got in the

mix right away and then they're like, okay, let's mic her up for professionals and

start bringing her into the house.

But they show KJ call and Dara a million times.

He says it's deep.

They got a deep relationship.

Then we have West and Ben.

They go and talk about Sierra about how West still loves her.

He regrets how everything ended up with Sierra.

He misses her.

He says Sierra knows that he misses her, but he doesn't know what to do.

He seems a little lost with that.

And then we end this episode with a scene from next week we get a naked Ben, Kyle and

Amanda talk about his DJing, I think in the previous for next week, Kyle tells Amanda

like, fuck off or something.

And West is like, you can't tell your wife to fuck off.

So this is another thing that I'm watching with my monoclon and thinking, wait, West is

sticking up for Amanda.

Is this West and Amanda thing real?

What do we think?

I didn't think so.

I think it seems crazy.

It seems crazy.

But then we've also, the crazier things have happened on Bravo.

Am I wrong?

A lot of stuff going on on Bravo.

We lost, of course, the real pandemic is over now this season, but we got Southern hospitality

back.

Woo!

If you're not watching, you guys need to get to know Emmy.

Emmy deserves an Emmy.

If you don't know this woman, Emmy, on the Southern hospitality show, she has like an

old school reality TV star completely unhinged in the best of ways.

And Southern hospitality is great.

It's just want to go out of ward two because they got a lot of LGBTQ representation on

the show.

And so we like that.

It's just a good show.

By the way, it scratches that old VPR itch that the new VPR does not scratch.

And so I hope more people are watching.

If you just like hop in on season two, right, like if you want to go back, of course

I'd encourage maybe start from the beginning if you can if you have the time, but season

one sort of a flop.

So start with season two and then go forth and prosper.

So we got that.

And what else is coming?

Do we have new shows coming?

Rhode Island Housewives is coming soon.

Atlanta's coming.

You guys have heard good things about Atlanta.

I'm talking like not just from, not, I'm talking I've heard like good things from behind

the scenes.

Right, like people who were like, oh, this season's actually good.

And I always tell you, sometimes you hear things and people are like, oh, this is a bad

season.

But then you'll see a lot of promo, you're like, is it bad?

But with Atlanta Housewives, I'm hearing like under the radar kind of like, oh, it's

a good season.

It's a good season.

So I'm hopeful and excited about that.

Okay.

Anything else we got to say?

Thank you all so much for listening and I hope next week on the podcast, I'll be able

to report back about my Watch What Happens Live episode with Kyle DJ Cook and hopefully it

goes well.

I'm going to try to get to the bottom of some rumors and I'm going to have to, you know,

get to the bottom of everything going on in the brother network.

I'm going to try to ask some questions and if I see something, I'm going to say something

and hopefully we'll have a good time.

People have been asking, are we going to do one of those, what we call a great mugs episode

where we just sort of talk about other hot topics going on in the world.

And so hopefully soon we'll get Hannah back here to do one of those great mugs episodes.

So I got to check in with her with that.
